Best Historic Restaurants in Newport

We enjoyed excellent food, service, and energetic atmosphere. We’ll be back!

A lovely evening! Food was delicious…filet and swordfish…but our waitress was a real delight. Sarah O’Leary was charming, efficient and a real enhancement to our experience. Thank you ! Bruce and Mimi Bartlett Newport

Delicious food and great service although I think a couple of waiters were still learning. A historic and quaint little restaurant.

Bar and Board is in a key location for a Saturday. night in Newport., right on the main drag. We had gone to a movie at the Jane Pickens theater and wanted to walk to dinner. Our reservations was for 7:00. When we entered there were many empty tables so we had the staff's full attention. We had a nice table on the ground floor but two seats were leaning against a cold stone wall - it was a windy night and the wall was a bit drafty. We ordered a bottle of wine and a few appetizers - delicious, oysters were okay, Brussel sprouts very good. Main courses were hearty portions, I could have shared. my bolognese with another person, others did share the pork chop. The wait staff was very attentive, the food arrived in a timely manner and the atmosphere kicked up as groups of people arrived - espresso martinis were their drink of choice!!! We would all go back to B&B another time - good food, great service and an okay wine list. Just what we wanted on a chilly, windy night.

The dining room is a lovely space and the staff and food were wonderful. It was my birthday dinner and I was able to pick a dessert from the menu from the restaurant . Just a lovely night.
